WITNESS, 0. T. MARTIN, JR., Clerk of the District Courts of Travis County, Texas. Issued and given under my hand Down Goes the Holy Dove They Prefer a Home Quotes on Migrants Fear,” Suspicion in the Land of Apartheid Conclusion JOHANNESBURG THE DIVINE IMAGE of old-line Calvinism subtly insinuates it self into administration of the public weal, giving to Moses leading a chosen people into a promised land ideological and emotional priority over Jesus on the cross; exalting the social and political patterns of the Old Testament and conveniently overlooking whatever it cannot square with those of the New. Divine sanction through scripture, moreover, supports and directs the care of the inferior by the superior. It is obvious, to the Elect, who the inferior and the superior are. To dispute this is merely one more evidence of depravity; to talk of natural equal rights is blasphemy. It would be nonsensical to imply that the theological underpinning of South African nationalism is so closely formulated. At the same time, however, this “theology” operates subconsciously and at times even -quite consciously. It supplies a grim moral earnestness that is. certainly not altogether hypocritical or cynical. Party rhetoric is sticky with piety. Many devout Afrikaner laymen as well as a moderate minority within the politically very power= ful Dutch Reformed clergy have no sympathy with all this, but it undoubtedly works wonders with masses of the voters. Here, again, Americans may not offer themselves as altogether immune from such influences. And I doubt that Afrikaner puritanism is any more rigid and joyless than our own once was; the difference is that in a world that has already bypassed it, it is not only .anachronIn a few instances, it would appear, Providence has seen fit to chastise even the Elect. A ‘theatrical blooper which will not soon be forgotten occurred to Dr. Verwoerd ‘on the occasion of the Union Festival celebration at Bloemfontein last year. Having recovered from his wounds sufficiently to address an outdoor audi ence of many thousands, the prime minister planned as the climax of his oration the release of a pigeon symbolically designated the Dove of Peace. With appropriate intonations he tossed the bird into the air, bidding It soar away into the heavens, which most disobligingly it declined to do. Instead, it described a downward arc, plopped ,squashily in front of the speaker’s stand, and beat not a wing. Such a moment of awkwardness in most situations would have provoked laughter, but this particular audience sat THE TEXAS OBSERVER Page 7 Jan. 14, 1961 stunned. “It was so quiet,” said one disrespectful Johannesburg paper, “that you could have heard a dove drop.” The adience’s behavior demonstrated en masse the kind of dumb, imperviously unquestioning submission to central authority that is to be met with in some individual Afrikaners. It was one of the funniest things that ever happened in South Africaand nobody laughed. If anybody had, there might be some , hope for the country. ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE, absolute devotion are the prereq uisites to South African citizenship under the Verwoerd regime. Civil disobedience, by this logic, is disobedience to God; carried far enough \(and it is difficult to see how Nationalist thought, at times, could carry it much farconclusion that any act of defiance is criminal, that any critical utterance is treasonable, that anything short of unqualified subservience is sacrilege. If apartheid is being rammed down South Africa’s throat \(and it most Icertainly confident that he acts under a commission from on high and that “alles sal reg kom” \(things All this poses for the sincere intellectualEnglish or Afrikaner somewhat the same dilemma as Mr. Karlsen, a South African farmer near Richmond., in Natal, found himself in after he had shot a leopard. The leopard having at tacked and mauled one of Karlsen’s young herdsmen, Karlsen shot the beast and in due time received a letter from the Parks, Game, and Fish Preservation Board pointing out that he had LEGALS TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Otto C.
